Technology transfer as technological learning: a source of competitive advantage for firms with limited R&D resources
研究了发展中国家研发资源有限的企业如何通过技术转移后的内部技术学习积累能力，从而获得可持续竞争优势，并基于台湾制造企业调查验证了组织智能、技术企业专有性和因果模糊性作为中介变量的作用。
The objective of this article is to answer why and how firms in developing countries with limited R&D resources can gain sustainable competitive advantage through technology transfer (TT). Successful firms are those that can accumulate competence through internal technological learning after transferring technologies from external technology sources. Organizational intelligence, firm specificity of technology, and causal ambiguity are identified as three mediators between technological learning performance and several antecedents previously discussed in the literature. A survey of Taiwanese manufacturers is conducted to explore the technological learning phenomenon as an integral part of TT, which is important but often neglected. This article also provides an interesting research setting for the evaluation of technological learning theories.
